September 7 (August 26), 1895

TodayI received your letter with the money, Mother
dearest, and thank you for it. I am surprised to hear of
such a great difference in the weather; you write that it is
cold in Moscow, but here it is hotter than it was all through
August, so I thought you were probably still living in the
country.

Therehave been no changes in my way of life here and
I have got so used to it that I feel myself almost at home
and would willingly stay longer; but the time has come
to leave and I am beginning to think of various practical
problems like buying things and a suitcase, and about
tickets, etc. Is there anything I can bring you? I can buy
anything here in some big shop; it seems to me
manufactured goods here are cheaper than ours and probably better.
Perhaps Mitya needs some books—let him write [for
instance he may need some album of anatomy, or something
else to do with medicine] and Manyasha, too. If she has
nothing in mind, you or Anyuta advise me what to bring her.
I feel I should be buying all sorts of
stuff....[1]
